Career-Ops turns your AI coding CLI into a full job search command center. Paste a job URL, get a structured A-F evaluation against your CV with weighted scoring across 10 dimensions. It generates tailored, ATS-optimized PDF resumes per application. One developer used it to evaluate 740+ offers and land a Head of Applied AI role.

The system gets smarter over time. It builds an interview story bank in STAR format, scans 45+ pre-configured company portals (Anthropic, OpenAI, Vercel, n8n), and can batch-evaluate offers in parallel using sub-agents. The Go-based dashboard lets you browse your entire pipeline from the terminal, and an experimental web UI is landing as an opt-in alpha. Running it needs Node.js and Playwright for the PDF generation and portal scanning.

Solo job seekers running any AI coding CLI: this is a force multiplier. It used to be Claude Code only, but now it also works with Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Copilot, and Qwen, several of which have free tiers. It does not replace your judgment, it structures it. The human-in-the-loop design means the AI evaluates and you decide.

The catch: the tool is free, but it leans on an AI CLI underneath, so your real cost depends on which provider you pick and how hard you run it. The pre-configured portals skew heavily toward AI and tech companies. And the first evaluations are rough until you feed it enough context about yourself.

Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid

fully free

Free Tier

MIT license, no paid features. All functionality is in the open source repo.

Self-Hosted

Clone, npm install, and install Playwright for PDF generation and portal scanning. All data is stored locally in markdown and YAML files.

Paid

None for the tool itself. It runs on top of an AI coding CLI: some are paid (Claude Code), others have free options (Gemini CLI, Qwen), so the real cost is whatever provider you choose.

Free and open source (MIT). Runs on any AI coding CLI, including free options like Gemini CLI.
